Скачать или смотреть Better Than Coffee? I Found This Wild Brew in the Woods… (Caffeine-Free Foraging Find)

On a foraging walk in Brooklyn with Wildman Steve Brill, I discovered something wild—literally. The Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioicus) produces large seed pods that can be roasted and brewed into a caffeine-free coffee substitute with rich notes of chocolate and caramel.
In this video, I’ll show you how to:
Identify the Kentucky Coffee Tree in the wild

Harvest and prepare the pods safely (avoid the toxic green pulp)

Roast the seeds for 3 hours at 300°F

Brew a rich, earthy drink with espresso vibes

I used to be a multiple-cups-a-day coffee drinker—until autoimmune burnout and adrenal fatigue taught me better. Now I’m exploring caffeine-free alternatives like dandelion root… and this? Might just top the list. I don’t know. You will have to watch this to see it.

Would you try this wild coffee substitute? Let me know in the comments!
